My first day at the commute. I am out of shape. 8 1/2 miles in one hour. I dismounted 5 times, sipped some water, stretched my muscles and walked in some steep zones. By the time I am in better shape (15-20 miles/day) the ride will take less than an hour and I will dismount less, maybe never! Cars were very polite, I am lucky compared to the luckysnafu. My only complaint is I hit a hole on my way downhill so it was a rough bump. I will check the pressure before I leave today...
All in all I am satisfied.
